About The Zoo

One of their main selling points and we’ve no doubt you’ll be sold on it – is that Tasmania Zoo is the only zoo in Tasmania to be fully accredited. They also have the largest collection of Tasmanian natives in the states.

You’ll find the zoo situated in the Northern part of the island, around 10km west of Launceston. From Hobart, it’ll take you around 2 hours and 30 minutes to drive up there. It’s well worth it.

Tasmania Zoo Map Location

Unlike other zoos, it looks like Tasmania Zoo, unfortunately, doesn’t offer membership for extra keen visitors. So if you are looking to check out the exotic animals quite regularly, you’re going to have to pay the entry price each time.

Of course, visit enough and you’ll likely become friends with the workers. Hell – you could even get yourself a job there if you’re that keen!

Just recently, in July 2017, the first of the endangered species of Red Panda arrived at the zoo. There are plans to rejuvenate the species and bring them back up to a healthy population.

Altogether, Tasmania Zoo houses a massive 1000+ invidual animals, spanning 100 species. Parrots, reptiles, cats, monkeys, mammals, and more. A full list can be found on their website (link below).

Facilities

Picnics

The Zoo itself has much more than simply animals to keep you entertained for the day. You’re more than welcome to bring along your own picnic and take full advantage of the wonderful Australian bush setting.

They even have a specific area of the zoo set aside for picnics and BBQs. Perfect to take a midday break and let the kids run around for a bit.

Cafe

No problem. Head to Meerkat Munchies cafe and top up your tank with a vast selection of hot/cold delights and beverages.
